in case you don't know, some Gameboy games required to have Nintendo logo in the game data as part of copy protection. allegedly that was legal protection against bootlegs.

Playstation2 used something similar. ( https://github.com/mlafeldt/ps2logo )

I suppose it gave companies in question additional legal leverage - they could not distribute copies of games without violating the trademark laws.
